Perhaps they've been modified. 200 00:19:23,573 --> 00:19:27,833 The EC was developing a prototype suit for close combat three years ago, 201 00:19:27,943 --> 00:19:32,003 but when faults were identified during the testing stage, development halted. 202 00:19:32,343 --> 00:19:33,443 At least, officially. 203 00:19:34,213 --> 00:19:34,973 Officially? 204 00:19:35,813 --> 00:19:38,303 This is as far as the AD Police Databank goes. 205 00:19:38,483 --> 00:19:40,643 But there's probably more to it, right, Nene? 206 00:19:44,293 --> 00:19:47,423 How about a coupon good for three days' worth of free desserts at Scirocco? 207 00:19:49,433 --> 00:19:52,193 According to another source, there is data which indicates 208 00:19:52,303 --> 00:19:55,133 that a European mercenary outfit employed this type of suit. 209 00:19:56,073 --> 00:19:56,593 A mercenary outfit? 210 00:20:03,343 --> 00:20:05,313 Which database did you pull this from? 211 00:20:05,483 --> 00:20:07,473 Neo-NATO's Top Secret Line. 212 00:20:07,653 --> 00:20:09,613 There'd be an international incident if anyone found out. 213 00:20:11,183 --> 00:20:14,883 The illegal Army...South America, the Middle East, Southeast Asia. 214 00:20:14,993 --> 00:20:16,213 Why are such professional warmongers 215 00:20:16,323 --> 00:20:19,453 playing "Gangsters and Terrorists' in Mega Tokyo? 216 00:20:20,563 --> 00:20:23,553 I can't believe they're in it just for the money. 217 00:20:23,733 --> 00:20:24,393 But look! 218 00:20:25,103 --> 00:20:26,933 Apparently their leader, one Col. Lando, 219 00:20:27,033 --> 00:20:29,433 was killed in action a year ago, in an operation in the Philippines. 220 00:20:35,943 --> 00:20:37,133 I remember that. 221 00:20:37,243 --> 00:20:41,643 Word had it that a big Japanese concern was backing a mercenary outfit. 222 00:20:41,753 --> 00:20:43,683 But the operation went awry, 223 00:20:43,783 --> 00:20:46,053 and nearly the entire unit was supposedly wiped out. 224 00:20:46,983 --> 00:20:48,383 I'm beginning to get the picture... 225 00:20:48,993 --> 00:20:52,053 But we probably can't do anything to stop them. 226 00:20:52,893 --> 00:20:56,523 Don't give up! AD Police is all there is now! 227 00:21:22,393 --> 00:21:27,353 That's it, no doubt about it. Well done, Col.

This AI is absolutely essential to our project. 234 00:21:50,923 --> 00:21:51,423 Yes, sir! 235 00:21:52,153 --> 00:21:54,643 Stop saluting, Lando. 236 00:21:54,753 --> 00:21:59,093 I am not your commander anymore, I am your comrade. 237 00:22:22,413 --> 00:22:25,543 Okay...there you are...

Fact is, a pro debut was always my dream... 270 00:24:24,133 --> 00:24:26,403 ...and I'm going to be busy once it happens, but... 271 00:24:26,573 --> 00:24:32,673 Yeah, me too. I can manage it, sure, say, when the market's closed. 272 00:24:32,843 --> 00:24:37,183 Sylia, I'm begging you! Stop the Knight Sabers from breaking up! 273 00:24:43,653 --> 00:24:48,093 I wondered what you were talking about! Is that what you were thinking? 274 00:24:50,393 --> 00:24:52,493 Then you're not going to talk about breaking up? 275 00:24:52,663 --> 00:24:56,503 No, we're not going to break up, you silly girls! 276 00:24:57,303 --> 00:24:58,963 Then, that something important... 277 00:24:59,143 --> 00:25:01,803 Is the discussion of our next job, of course. 278 00:25:01,913 --> 00:25:05,773 An awful lot of offers have accumulated during our brief vacation. 279 00:25:05,883 --> 00:25:08,313 And since the equipment upgrades finally seem to be finished as well... 280 00:25:08,413 --> 00:25:14,153 ...I thought it was time to start up again...not break up! 281 00:25:15,823 --> 00:25:19,023 Then all my worrying was for nothing... 282 00:25:19,193 --> 00:25:20,283 Nene! 283 00:25:20,463 --> 00:25:22,953 What makes you think that the Knight Sabers would disband, anyway? 284 00:25:23,133 --> 00:25:25,933 Oh?

But right now, let's eat. 289 00:25:39,243 --> 00:25:40,343 Don't mind if I do! 290 00:25:47,553 --> 00:25:50,613 There seems little doubt that the bank robbers currently plaguing the city... 291 00:25:50,723 --> 00:25:54,423 ...are the mercenary outfit known as the illegal Army. 292 00:25:55,533 --> 00:26:00,123 But the strange thing is, it's a matter of record that their leader, Col. Lando... 293 00:26:00,233 --> 00:26:06,603 ...was killed some years ago, along with nearly all his men, in a failed operation. 294 00:26:12,443 --> 00:26:16,353 I found out this much just by using AD Police's computers. 295 00:26:16,513 --> 00:26:18,143 That's terrific, Nene. 296 00:26:18,323 --> 00:26:22,053 Well, with you gone, and the Knight Sabers seemingly breaking up... 297 00:26:22,153 --> 00:26:24,593 ...I figured that AD Police would have to take our place, somehow. 298 00:26:24,763 --> 00:26:26,923 Will you stop talking about breaking up! 299 00:26:27,093 --> 00:26:28,523 I'm sorry. 300 00:26:28,693 --> 00:26:34,033 But, if we consider this data, then just who is causing all the fuss now? 301 00:26:34,633 --> 00:26:38,293 That's the question. Some members might possibly have survived. 302 00:26:38,773 --> 00:26:40,463 And they're trying to take revenge... 303 00:26:40,573 --> 00:26:44,233 ...on the Japanese corporation that sent them to destruction? 304 00:26:44,413 --> 00:26:48,473 But all they've done so far is rob banks. 305 00:26:48,653 --> 00:26:50,343 That doesn't seem to be the case. 306 00:26:50,453 --> 00:26:54,213 The fact is, our client this time out is Zone Corporation. 307 00:26:54,723 --> 00:26:58,753 I know Zone...they make Boomer brains. What's the connection? 308 00:27:00,223 --> 00:27:03,133 This is one component of the special AI which Zone Corporation... 309 00:27:03,233 --> 00:27:05,203 ...secretly developed for a new type of Boomer. 310 00:27:06,533 --> 00:27:10,473 Zone hasn't told the media, but the illegals stole this component... 311 00:27:10,573 --> 00:27:14,133 ...from Glory Bank, together with 30 billion in gold bullion. 312 00:27:15,013 --> 00:27:16,373 I've never seen anything like it. 313 00:27:17,143 --> 00:27:20,673 They can't announce anything because of corporate security concerns. 314 00:27:20,783 --> 00:27:24,243 Naturally, just the one component is of no use by itself. 315 00:27:24,353 --> 00:27:28,943 The AI's faculties can only be realized if all four components are assembled. 316 00:27:29,723 --> 00:27:33,123 So the first two were at Glory and Omni? 317 00:27:33,293 --> 00:27:36,663 Right. In short, they're using the money as a smokescreen. 318 00:27:36,763 --> 00:27:39,993 But their real objective is the four components of this AI. 319 00:27:40,103 --> 00:27:42,533 Our job is to protect the remaining two. 320 00:27:42,703 --> 00:27:44,063 But how? 321 00:27:44,233 --> 00:27:47,293 The bait has already been laid out. We may get a nibble any time now. 322 00:28:05,563 --> 00:28:06,543 This makes three. 323 00:28:13,833 --> 00:28:15,963 Hold it right there, mercenaries! 324 00:28:16,073 --> 00:28:18,133 Surrender!

I'll take him. 334 00:29:01,213 --> 00:29:03,303 Leon doesn't stand a chance against a suit like that! 335 00:29:03,483 --> 00:29:04,503 Let him do it his way. 336 00:29:10,153 --> 00:29:11,713 This is the end! 337 00:29:15,463 --> 00:29:16,123 Now! 338 00:29:19,833 --> 00:29:20,393 Sorry 'bout that. 339 00:29:21,633 --> 00:29:23,293 Not so fast! 340 00:29:24,633 --> 00:29:26,663 Victory is mine. 341 00:29:35,653 --> 00:29:38,673 Hang on! We're getting out of here! 342 00:29:39,453 --> 00:29:43,553 It's no use, sir! Please, just leave me! 343 00:29:43,723 --> 00:29:47,163 I won't let you die!

I'll explain it to the Chief. 347 00:30:08,713 --> 00:30:13,453 Putting that aside, why did they steal a component of a research project? 348 00:30:13,553 --> 00:30:15,613 It doesn't seem like they were after money. 349 00:30:15,793 --> 00:30:19,423 But it amounts to the same thing. After all, they can convert it into money. 350 00:30:20,263 --> 00:30:24,893 No, that's not Lando's style. He must be after something else. 351 00:30:32,103 --> 00:30:34,003 You are the warriors who have been chosen... 352 00:30:34,103 --> 00:30:37,943 ...to bring forth a new order upon the world. 353 00:30:38,283 --> 00:30:41,273 This war you fight is a holy war. 354 00:30:58,933 --> 00:31:02,563 The world is changing.
